However the new game looks like it's aimed for kids. I'm gonna be a bit deppressed if there were no partners (and hopefully we can get Luigi earlier and not lose him for Dimentio and Mr. L's boss fight) but if there are partners, this game will be exceptionally good.

The game does have partners. I guess they just want to show some scenes with just Mario in them. We have seen partners in the game, so don't worry.

Not really. Every recent screenshot shows Mario alone. The Chain Chomp screenshots also show a lot of things that have changed in the recent screenshots. The Chain Chomp is nowhere to be found. Furthermore, the new battle screen is tilted at an angle. The focus is on Mario. If a partner were to stand behind him, it would look weird and would make the partner the focus, even when Mario is attacking. The green toad and the crown thing are not confirmed to be partners, especially since they are never seen in battle and are only seen once; Mario is almost always shown alone. And it's not just because it's the beginning of the game, because we see Mario alone in a ton of different environments. There's no way he's going to all those places before he even gets his first partner.

I don't like how Intelligent Systems is trying to change things because people complained TTYD was too similar to Paper Mario. I LIKED it that way, and they're my two favourite games. I could play a third game that is similar

People complained?? I loved TTYD. I want another game like the first two.

I doubt they "changed" the battle system/etc because of complaints about being too similar when there were ALSO complaints about the games (all of them) being too wordy and there's been no change in that.

Anyway, glad there's finally a Paper Mario discussion thread. ^_^ I haven't played the first Paper Mario, but The Thousand Year Door is one of the best games I've ever played, quite honestly. I've only gotten to about Chapter 4 in Super Paper Mario; for some reason, it just didn't win me over like TTYD did.

Very excited for Paper Mario 3DS! I too hope it is more like the first two games.

Don't get me wrong, those games are still good but they can't compare to Superstar Saga.

Are you kidding me? Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story were honestly alot more in depth and better than Superstar Saga, which was a good game, nonetheless. Also, this is a Mario game... saying it looks too "kiddish" doesn't make much sense.

I am looking forward to this... I liked Super Paper Mario but not as much as the first two, however, I did like the 3D elements.

The whole reason why I prefer Superstar Saga is because it has more depth. There is much more to explore. It also has a much better story than those two games, better characters, and just a lot more fun.

And normal paper Mario's are for like 10-12 year olds. This one seems like it is for 6 year olds

I'm not gonna argue with you over which story was better since that's completely subjective, same with the characters. Partners in Time's battle system was definitely more in-depth than Superstar Saga's, I guess I should have clarified on that. I'll give you that on the exploration.

God, that's like saying Wind Waker was targeted towards 6-year olds because of the art-style. Don't base a game by it's looks.

...I'm just gonna pretend I never heard those. As far as I can see, all three Paper Mario games are targeted toward a little bit more mature audiences, at least more so than Pokemon, due to their difficulty. I had quite a bit of trouble with the first one and I still haven't beaten the final boss of the Thousand Year Door. Super Paper Mario, however, was considerably easier but did feature slightly more in-depth puzzles. I don't know much about the new one, so I can't quite give an opinion for sure.

I find Pokemon to be MUCH harder than Paper Mario. Paper Mario is like the easiest thing ever

I'm sorry but beyond no badge/5 HP runs what challenges have people made for Paper Mario games? Pokemon games have an insane amount (scramble, monotype, Nuzlocke, solo, etc.), due to easiness. Plus Paper Mario games prevent grinding against weak enemies. Plus the puzzles are usually harder in the Paper Mario games.
